The Skeleton Didn't Belong in a Closet.

September 23, 2026 · 1 min read

Walked into the office recently and new signs were up.

Then I saw the skeleton and decided it didn’t belong in a closet.

So I moved it. Set it right under the logos. Now the wall tells most of the story (more signs and art on the way).

Some of the businesses we're actively building:

HVAC and manufactured housing supplies - ARCO HoldCo

Restrooms, roll-offs & site services - R&R Sanitation

Insurance, benefits, real estate & capital - Centered Partners

What we don't do is pretend.

The signs show what we are building. The skeleton reminds me that everything looks different once you see underneath it.

There's one standard behind every logo on that wall: Tell the truth. Own the mistakes.

Need a furnace, a dumpster, insurance, or an honest conversation? The door's open. So is the closet.

Four logos. One standard.
